Duchess gives birth to baby boyDuchess of Cambridge
Delighted ... the royal couple are over-the-moon
KATE Middleton and Prince William welcomed their baby BOY into the world, Kensington Palace announced today.
Third in line to the throne, the Prince of Cambridge was delivered at the Lindo Wing of St Mary’s hospital, Paddington, at 4.24pm - weighing 8lbs 6oz.
The palace said in a statement: “Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cambridge was safely delivered of a son at 4.24pm. The baby weighs 8lbs 6oz.
“The Duke of Cambridge was present for the birth.
“The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Harry and members of both families have been informed and are delighted with the news.
“Her Royal Highness and her child are both doing well and will remain in hospital overnight.”
A Buckingham Palace spokesman said: “The Queen and Duke of Edinburgh are delighted at the news.”
Soon after the palace announcement was made, a notice giving details about the baby - the third-in-line to the throne - left St Mary’s Hospital in London by car for Buckingham Palace.
It has been signed by the Queen’s former gynaecologist Marcus Setchell, who led the medical team that delivered Kate’s baby.
The notice will be placed on an easel in the palace’s forecourt just like the announcement of William’s birth on June 21, 1982, a traditional element of theatre in marked contrast to the modern age of emails and Twitter.
The new royal baby will be the Queen’s third great-grandchild and is destined to be crowned monarch.
He will be the 43rd sovereign since William the Conqueror if, as expected, it follows reigns by the Prince of Wales then William.
First-time parents Kate and William, both 31, will be busy deciding on a name for their bundle of joy – with bookies touting George and James as the favourites.
The nation has been waiting with bated-breath for this historic day since the royal couple announced they were expecting their first child in December 2012.
Kate had a rocky start to her pregnancy when she had to be admitted to hospital with Hyperemesis Gravidarum, a severe type of morning sickness.
